Tough luck guys, it must have been fairly sticky out there today.

[palkanetoijala31]

oh no poor luck i was sure u going to break it why did victoria close.?

[greatkingrat]

Closed due to a local power failure according to the TfL site.

[palkanetoijala31]

Wouldnt a pass through count in that case.?

[greatkingrat]

Yes, but presumably they were intending to interchange there.

Can't say I'm not relieved, with "Good Service" showing practically the whole day and the weather absolutely magnificent, it looked like the perfect day was on...
